BooHiss/Hurrah

This whole blog is about personal opinion - mine. I'm calling it BooHiss/Hurrah.

BooHiss - to the expert who refuses to testify that my daughter's former doctor was incompetent, arrogant, and negligent. There will be no lawsuit thus no justice for baby Alex. I pray God is keeping score because no one on this planet is willing to score that doctor in the negative numbers in public.

Hurrah - I have more growing things. LOTS more growing things

BooHiss - I killed my cactus - poor baby is wilting as I write this. Sigh

Hurrah - I hear peepers, lots and lots of chirping tree froggies to celebrate the warmer wetter weather.

BooHiss - to a religion who passes on a death sentence to anyone who leaves a belief they had the misfortune to be born to not chosen.

Hurrah - to the silence of Friday. I work with someone who just can't shut up and feels it necessary to say my name repeatedly until I am forced to answer then she has nothing to say but "am I annoying you, huh? huh? huh? huh? huh? huh? - this conversation ACTUALLY took place. My head wants to explode by Friday because she's worn my nerves to a frazzle. The blessed peace of Friday is upon me at last.

BooHiss - my mom fractured her arm.

Hurrah - my mom doesn't need surgery - taping her fractured arm is all she needs. According to my sister, my mom says she is feeling no pain.

BooHiss - my work schedule has increased again this month.

Hurrah - I have two days off before Easter to go home to visit my mom.

BooHiss - I have no one to water my little growing things while I'm gone for four days and they so will need daily moisturizing.

Hurrah - the time change will be this weekend thus more daylight in the evening after I get off work.

Hurrah - Hurrah - Hurrah - my wonderful daughter has posted pictures of my little green growing things below. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you - my darling daughter.

Green Things

And then again....

I edited the below post about the stained glass so it would read the picture below it. Sigh. I will get this right, I hope.

Today I showed someone a picture of each of my grandsons. He said something about how sad when he saw my Alex's picture - the still born grandson. At that moment I thought something somewhat brutal and then I said it. I told the man that it was sad but that Alex would/could have been alive today. His death was preventable and that little niggle of hate made its way to my voice. Hate for the fact that my grandson is dead and the woman responsible is still practicing medicine and that fact is an abomination to me.

It's snowing today and it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Welcome to spring in the snowbelt. Bah Humbug. Thank goodness for my little growing things - hope for warmth springs eternal I guess.

The Picture

The picture below is an original design I've done in glass. I'm thinking of doing another with morning glories (in blue). And perhaps a pot of oxalis or shamrocks. And my favorite - climbing roses . Hmm, we'll have to see. Coming soon to a blog near you - more pictures of projects in the works.

I have green things and more and more are sprouting up. I can't wait until they are tall enough to take a decent picture.

Second try

Okay, here's the second try for a picture posting.

Oh My God My Daughter Is A Blog Genius. She figured out what to do to post my pictures. Thanks Kid It Worked. Yeah Rah Cath!!!!

Happy Friday.

This is a test

This is a test to see if I can add a picture. Well, here goes....this is not working and I don't know why - hmmmm

Growing Green Thingies

I have growing green things, I have growing green things, I have growing green things - only not nearly as many green things as I planted but all in good time, I think. For now, I'm excited about these little green thingies. :o)

I have been listing all that I need to make. I think I need to start drawing/cutting/gringing/foiling/soldering. Time's awastin. Once I figure out how to post pictures, I'll have the hubby take them and I'll post them myself. Seems my blog page helper(my kid) had a hard time with the pics I had the hubby email to her. So the solution is to avoid the email and learn to do it myself.

I can't wait to go bulb looking and perennial looking. I've got spring fever and it's really getting to me to try to weed/plant/grow/mulch. I'll take two tylenol and hope it goes away. Looks like I have a LOT of work ahead of me. Sigh

Happy St. Patrick's Day

The corned beef is slow cooking with potatoes and carrots and I can hardly wait. Happy St. Patrick's Day to my son-in-law Steve who is so Irish he should be a green shamrock!!!

Which makes my grandson half Polish and half Irish. Now what a combination is that???

Today I received a mystery gift. Someone sent me a $20 gift card from Dick's Sporting Goods. Neither I nor my husband have any idea why or who or where the card came from but the envelope was addressed to me from Archway Marketing. hmmmmmm

Today my poor hubby is gimpy. His gout is acting up and he's taking ibuprofen and limping a lot, poor baby.

TGIF * TGIF * TGIF * TGIF * TGIF * TGIF * TGIF * TGIF

No ringing phones, no blathering co-workers, no complaining. YEAH!!!

Short

This will be very very short because it's thundering and lightening and I'm nervous and superstitious about computers and storms. (okay, breathing now)

Today wasn't so bad. MOndays at my place of employment are usually nightmares because I work in a doctor's office and everyone and anyone wants to see a doctor after waiting three weeks and a weekend of being sick. But today wasn't so bad. I left the office in relatively nice order and got out only a half hour later than I should.

I can't be too unhappy about the upcoming weather since I had three warm days and two days of listening to peepers but oh, it's so hard to anticipate an entire week of snow again. sigh

Shoz bot!!!!

Snowdrops

Peepers

Tonight I heard the first peepers - tree frogs. It was awesome. It was warm, foggy, and wet - perfect for peepers. The only sad thing is they were way off. I think this year I won't hear peepers on our property because of a home going up this summer behind us. Tree frogs migrate away from noise and it will take a couple of years for them to return to our back yard and woods. Ah well, at least I can hear them far off.

Tonight I planted coleus and tomatoes. Now we'll see if I can get the little green things to grow.

Plants

Today I planted begonias - sadly some did not survive. Ah well, lesson well learned. I also planted foxglove, lupine, columbine, hollyhock, gallardia, daisies, flax, poppy, and some I can't pronounce or spell. LOL Well see what kinds of seedlings I get. I need to buy a few more flats so I can start some coleus. We'll see what kinds of seedlings I get. They were off to a rough start. I prepared the flat with soil then promptly dropped the bugger all over the basement laundry room. Soooo, I swept it all up, rescued what I could, and filled it up again. Then I planted the seeds. Luckily I hadn't planted it before I dropped it. Sheesh.

It was 60 degrees today and absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed the day. I also got a little laundry done and my dishes washed. Then I washed goblets to prepare them for foiling and soldering. Now I have to start making up patters in my head. That has to be the hardest part of it all. The rest is just mechanical, methodical, grunt work.

Forgot to get the hubby to take the snow drop pics. I discovered the ones I spread about did survive and are now up. Soon they will spread. I have a lot of stuff to clean out of the garden in back and the flower beds. Lots of work ahead in the oncoming spring days. Supposed to snow this week so I probably won't get any of that done until later in the month.

A taste of Spring

Tomorrow I plant a few seeds and I'm so excited. I'm also going to order some seeds from Parks Seeds.

My snowdrops are just blooming beautifully. Hoping to get hubby to take pic and send it to my kid who will post the pic on this blog - hint hint hint.

The daffodils are coming up and spring is in the air - as is snow for the end of this week. LOL Sixty degrees tomorrow and thirty two degrees predicted for Thursday. Spring in this part of Ohio is Always a surprise. LOL

The best part of today - I get to go to sleep knowing I don't have to go to work tomorrow. Yeah Rah Me!!!

Three in a Row!!!

Three posts in a row!!! !Wow! I'm not promising I'll keep this up but I do promise to post more often then (than?) once a month.

My tuberous begonias are already sprouting so I think I'm going to plant my planters and keep them in front of the family room sliding glass door so they get enough light. I may even turn on a few florescents in the area. We'll see. I wish I had marked each begonia as I planted it because now I can't tell the hanging ones from the others - although I believe the smaller sized ones may be the hanging begonias.

Today I got my teeth cleaned, bought some lounging jammies at the dollar store and a couple of goblets, then more or less loafed. It was a nice afternoon and evening.

I see they threw off the tall girl on American Idol. I haven't watched much so don't know just how good she was. Bo Bice was on as a guest - the boy needs some work ... maybe a coach. Ah well.

Tomorrow is Friday. TGIF!!!!

Stained Glass & Naps

I got home from work and lay down on the couch. My eyes popped open and my brain nagged me. I got up, took my foiled and pinned stained glass letter downstairs, soldered it, washed it, brought it upstairs, polished it, took it downstairs and signed it, then brought it back upstairs to glue a crystal on and box it. I wrote up my sales slip. I now feel I've defied this tired state of affairs and actually got something done. And it feels good. And it gave me a really great idea for things for the medieval faire for this summer. Yeah me!!!
You see, illuminated letters are really tough to sell unless it's a special order. That's hard to get from one example. But I now have come up with something highly saleable, different, and easy to do. Yeah Me even more!!!
I found my tuberous begonias are beginning to sprout. I now have lights. This Saturday I will plant them in individual small pots and see what I can get. I can hardly wait.

expectations

I'm supposed to blog every day. It's supposed to be fun. NOT!!! I'm 57 years old and I work hard all day and the last thing, the very last thing, I want to do is think, type, edit, sound coherant. So, I'm guilty of not blogging every day. I think about it but sit down on the couch and fall fast asleep. But tonight I thought I'd take a minute to say how very sad it is that Christopher Reeves wife died of cancer. Their child is an orphan and he must be feeling very vulnerable and alone at this moment. Nothing can bring his folks back and I'm hoping he can make it through this very very rough time. WE all need to remember how vulnerable we are to death and who we will leave behind.

My hubby put up a light on a shelf and now I can start seedlings. When I get a moment of energy. I confess I can hardly wait to see if I might succeed where I so often fail. I'm hoping to have pics in a few weeks of growiing little green things. :0)

They say time flies when you're having fun. Well, maybe so, I have yet to try that fun thingy. Time is flying and I'm having trouble keeping everything within reach. My enthusiasm for life and my projects far outrun my energy. I don't feel old. I feel tired. Now, I have just finished a seven day course of antibiotics for a sinus infection that I though would pop my eyeballs right out of my head, so maybe tired is just the backlash. I'll let you know when I post the pics of the little green growiing things. LOL
